The 158th entry in the Mood Series turns inward, revisiting an important early chapter from grad_u with Laukiu Rytojaus. Originally recorded in 2006 and first released via Signorafranca, this reissue on Greyscale is not only a retrospective but also an intimate time capsule when our label head was defining his early stages of a now-recognisable sonic identity. What makes this release compelling isn't just its historical context as his second ever release, but how clearly it reveals grad_u's instincts way back then. While less rhythm-focused than his later work, the foundations of his ambient language are already present: restraint, atmosphere and depth. The title track, 'Laukiu Rytojaus', drifts in with a dreamlike softness. Floaty bass notes gently pulse beneath a hazy surface, while distant children's voices add an almost surreal emotional layer. It ebbs and flows with patience, never forcing momentum, instead dissolving as delicately as it began. 'Puiki Savaites Pabaiga' opens in near silence, led by bell tones that feel ceremonial, gradually joined by reflective chords. The interplay between these elements creates a meditative space-minimal, yet deeply expressive. It unfolds slowly, ending in a state of calm introspection. 'Atsiminimai Apie Vakar' closes the EP with a subtle lift in tone. Gentle chords carry a sense of optimism, while environmental sounds-crickets, birds-background the track in a natural setting. It sounds grounded and human, like a memory suspended in time. Laukiu Rytojaus is a meaningful revisit-both for longtime listeners and newcomers- giving us a look back to grad_u's beginnings.
